STRICT ENF0RCEMEN1 EXPECTED
Student identification to be checked at Rose Bowl
By Mary Bird
Staff Writer
Any student wishing to buv Rose Bowl tickets for family or friends who are nonstudents better think twice before purchasing.
If was learned Tuesday that all people holding student tickets will be checked for their student IDs at the game. Only those with valid IDs will be admitted.
"The procedure (which has been in effect for a while), will be strictly enforced," said Jim Dennis, director of campus life.
Pat Tyner, director of the Ticket Office, said that students have been warned that
IDs would be checked. She said a warning about the procedure was stamped on the ticket. During the overnight wait for tickets, fliers were handed out and sound system broadcasts warned ticket holders the procedure would be enforced.
Students who are selling their tickets and nonstudents who are buying them may be upset by the policy. The campus is littered with fliers and posters advertising tickets for sale to anyone who has money to pay for them.
"It (the ID policy) was done in the best interest of the students," Dennis said.
Student response was varied when they found out about the ID check.
Andy Light, a senior majoring in physical education, said: "I think it's ridiculous. Why should you be limited to going to the game with students here when you might have a boyfriend somewhere else? It's not like they'll tear up the stadium."
Terri Blazier, a junior in business, said: "I think it's bad. People have bought tickets thinking that they're going to go to the game—like people who've paid $100 apiece for 50-yard-line tickets. There are a lot of alumni who really want to go to a game and will pay that kind of money — then there are students who don't really care. Students who really wanted to go to the game could have gotten end zone tic-
kets the afternoon they were sold when there was no one in line."
Camie Shinn, a junior in business, felt that students who waited in line should have the option of selling their tickets for money. "I think it's really bad. A student's time is worth money too (those who waited in line all night before), and maybe they're selling their tickets because they're going home for Christmas," she said.
A lot of students felt the procedure was good because it would eliminate scalping and enable more students to go to the game.

Harvard student says USC group recruits followers for religious cult
The association appears to be concerned about world problems, but its goal is world power.'
By Gail Harris
Staff Writer
A Harvard student has accused a USC organization of conducting a massive but covert recruitment program that persuades university students to join the Unification Church, whose members are known as Moonies.
The Collegiate Assn. for the Research of Principles (CARP), a national organization that has a group on this campus called USC-CARP, brainwashes students into becoming followers of Rev. Suh Myung Moon, the student said.
Jim Conant, a junior in philosophy at Harvard, said the group resembles the People's Temple cult led bv Jim Jones but is a lot more dangerous. Jones and 900 followers died in a mass suicide-murder in Guyana.
Conant began doing research on various religions for a research paper on the psychology of religious conversion, he said.
His findings led him to seek more information on the association and since then he has been sending literature to universities in an effort to inform them of the organizations' tactics and motives, Conant said.
Football players do not fit stereotype of ‘dumb jock’
By Diane Kessler
Take all the stereotypes that you have heard about football players and throw them away. Now take a look at the 90 students who play football at this university.
Both offensively and defensively, a combination of hard-working students and Dean's-List scholars make up the starting line of the Trojan squad.
John Robinson, head football coach, Jeff Birren, academic team adviser and Zivia Wilson, athletic coordinator at the Learning Skills Development Center, are trying to see that it stays that way.
Statistics compiled bv Steve Hirsch, probation couselor of student administrative services, show that in comparison with the overall academic probation rate of 14% the football team has a rate of 7.8% .
In 1976, 73% of new student athletes were on academic probation after their first semester. With the implementation of what Robinson calls the most comprehensive academic program anywhere in the nation, the percentage rate of new students on probation dropped to 11 % in just one year.
Each year students on athletic scholarship must maintain their grades in order to renew their scholarships. Eligibility' to play is based on this renewal. This year's rate of return was 100% , Birren said.
During the last spring and fall semesters, 11 football players made the Dean's List for academic achievement. This list includes starters Paul McDonald, quarterback, Otis Page, inside linebacker, Keith Van Horne, tackle and Rich Dimler, nose guard.
In comparison with other universities, Sporting News magazine reports that of the top five Big-10 colleges with the highest academic achievements, including Northwestern and Purdue, only 13 football players maintained a grade point average of 3.0 either last spring or overall during their college careers.
At USC last spring, 21 football players had a grade point average of 2.0 or better, while ten had a cummulative average of 3.0 or above.
Football players attend the same classes as all other students at the university and grades are a personal matter to both the coaches and the players.
"When people like Rich Dimler, the captain of the football team, get good grades it is positive peer pressure for other kids on the team to do well," Robinson said.
Personal satisfaction makes good grades important to Dimler, a speech communications major.
"People say that you should use your education. What's hard is that it is deceptive. You think of pro ball and there is a lot of money in it,

"They (CARP) seem like a bunch of fun-loving people but they have sophisticated techniques and gradually destroy your decision-making ability," Conant said.
The association appears to be concerned about world problems and denounces communism and facism but its goal is world power, he said.
Within two weeks after a student becomes involved with the organization, he changes, claimed Conant, who said one of his friends joined and was deprogrammed later.
The group starts its recruitment tactics by inviting students on activities such as outings and slowly circulates propaganda material, he said.
After this, the association invites students to lectures that give them guilt feelings about their lives and then the potential members become vulnerable and start to snap, Conant said.
"They have this crazy world view that these are the last days and the organization has to save (continued on page 2)
Funding postpones Bovard refurbishing
By John Frith
Staff Writer
Lack of funding has pushed back the beginning of work on refurbishing Bovard Auditorium until June 1979.
A spokesman said Anthony Lazzaro, vice-president for business affairs, refused to comment on the amount needed for the job, but past fundraising efforts for the project indicate that more than S300,(KK) is needed.
This amount mav not be needed, however, for renovating the 56-year-old auditorium.
"We are seeking funding for a more limited project than originally discussed," Lazzaro's spokesman said.
She said she did not know what plans were originally discussed.
In the spring of 1977, Grant Beglarian, the dean of the School of Performing Arts, said funds for the project would come when land donated to the university by Ken Norris Jr. was sold.
"We got $300,000 from Norris, but it wasn't enough," Beglarian said. "When Norris learned that, he decided to give it all to the cancer center (at Los Angeles Countv-USC Medical Center)."
Before performing arts turned over responsibility for upgrading the auditorium to Lazzaro's office, it had raised $27,(XX) for that purpose, Beglarian said. Lazzaro's office confirmed that those are the only funds it has to work with at this time.
A source in Beglarian's office said Lazzaro, while not in negotiation with a potential donor, is close to locating an endowment.
Lazzaro's office refused to comment about any donor.
There has been talk for many years about renovating the auditorium.
"We're the welfare institution of USC," said Edwin Carnes, who is in charge of the facility. "Everything we have is what's been left behind or given to us."
Carnes said all Bovard receives is the minimum maintenance needed to keep going. He said that was because Bovard had no departmental budgets to draw on.
"Everything we get done is bv O and M (operations and maintenance), and they don't want to do something they're not getting income from," he said.
He said this was because operations and maintenance normally bills the department it is doing the work for. Since Bovard Auditorium was not affiliated with any department, there were no funds available to pay for the work.
Performing arts had been in charge of fundraising, but turned over responsibility for that to Lazzaro's office. "Bovard is not just performing arts' concern — it's an all-university concern," Beglarian said.
Carnes said there are two areas in need of work: cosmetic improvements, generally in the seating area and the stage; and backstage.
In the first category, Carnes said, were new carpets, a new curtain, repairing seats so springs weren't sticking up out of them and painting
